I want to like him.  But it just feels off that he’s capable of being a top 10 guy.  He feels like a top 40 comfort guy.  Iowa type level of coach, that gets a bunch of guys and Wins a little more than he loses.  Tons of generalities and hope.   
 

Roster is improved this year but also very thin and deficient in suitable backups.  We stepped up, but other teams have stepped up even more. The top is very, very good this year.  We just aren’t there, even if healthy.  We’ve got a punchers chance thank goodness.  
 

Hope to be proven wrong this season.   

I honestly feel like the attitude from Dolson is probably ‘Let’s show some progress this year with a team that has very few seniors. If we can do that, I’ll go hard after the boosters to build a championship-level team next year.’

My understanding is our foreign players can play in the July 15, exhibition game but cannot play in the upcoming trip to Peru.  They can make the trip to Peru and participate in off-the-court activities, participate in practices but cannot play in the actual games.

Those uniforms do look good on them.  Will those be available to purchase anywhere?  I would love to get a pair of those shorts with the IU on them.

Kinda funny all these guys committed to IU (some just a few months ago) and now they're on a Team USA.

Question was asked on 247 and the answer from Raby was that they would not be available for purchase.

IU and Adidas have a chance to make some extra cash from merch, and they aren't taking it?  That sucks
